Yankees takeaways, surprises and more: What we learned after Week 1 of spring training

The first, and most important take away, is that the team is much healthier now than at this point last year. By this time Nestor and Montas were already on the IL.
Very encouraging to see Volpe has adjusted his bat path to be less of an uppercut. With his speed and where he’ll be in the lineup, I’d much rather him be an all fields hitter with a higher OBP and lower slugging %. Felt like he was selling out for HRs a bit last year.
